US Authorities Warn of Active Exploitation of Apple CoreGraphics and Cisco SD-WAN Vulnerabilities

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two newly identified vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. CVE-2026-86950 affects Apple iOS, iPadOS, and macOS through a flaw in the CoreGraphics framework that allows out-of-bounds memory writes and potential arbitrary code execution. CVE-2026-76504 impacts Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, enabling unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative access due to improper URI encoding handling in the API. Federal agencies must remediate both issues within three days of their respective catalog additions. CISA also requires organizations to check for signs of compromise in addition to applying patches. The alerts highlight ongoing risks to widely deployed Apple operating systems and enterprise SD-WAN infrastructure.

US authorities have issued warnings about actively exploited vulnerabilities in Apple products and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, requiring rapid remediation by federal agencies.

CVE-2026-86950 was added on September 29, 2026. The vulnerability resides in the CoreGraphics framework used by iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It permits out-of-bounds memory writes that can lead to arbitrary code execution when successfully exploited.

CVE-2026-76504 was added the following day. The issue affects the API of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and stems from improper URI encoding processing. Attackers can bypass authentication and obtain administrative privileges without valid credentials.

Federal agencies must complete remediation and compromise assessments by October 2 for the Apple flaw and October 3 for the Cisco flaw. CISA emphasizes both patching and investigation of potential prior intrusions.
